pg_dump and pg_restore correctly backup and restore complete databases. 
Partial backups and restores work, but of course can create expected 
dependency problems that only the operator is in a position to resolve. 

In your case you restored the complete schema and then tried to import data, 
which failed due to a foreign key constraint. In a full backup and restore, 
all the table data would have been restored prior to that constraint being 
created.
